Zombicide Eridian Mutant Bosses

 

In the previous post I showed off the Eridian mutants that I will use in a Traveller RPG scenario. These two bad guys will be the two bosses for that group of mutants.

The first is the thin one on the left. He is a prison guard who has been mutated. His special gift will be that he is able to eject eridian spikes from his body. So basically this will be the ranged baddie for the group of mutants. If he is killed off too quickly by the PC's, then another one can appear to keep pouring ranged attacks onto the PC's with explosive, grenade like effect.

The big bruiser is the final boss for this extended combat. He is the Prospector. Basically, it was he who found the eridian in the first place and approached one of the Corporations (Hyperion) on Pandora with his find. The scenario takes place well before the events in the first Borderlands game. Hyperion agrees to help explore the find further and so arranges for one of the prison work details on the planet to assist the Prospector. About two weeks into the excavation, the mine site goes silent...

So it should be a fun dustup!

Zombicide Eridian Mutants

 

I wanted to paint up some Eridian altered mutants for a future Traveller RPG scenario. I had previously painted up some Zombicide zombo's as surrogates for Fallout 4 Ghouls for a D20 game based in the same world. They worked pretty well and so I decided to do similar for this scenario.

Being altered by Eridian (from the Borderlands setting), their skin was painted a purple and pink combination. The idea is that they were a prison work group sent to work on a mine and became "infected" by exposure to Eridian. So they are all pretty much wearing the same prison outfits.

Anyway, I like how they have turned out. The next post will be the bosses for these lads.

Copplestone Castings Terminator Robots

 

Its been a slow painting month. Partly because my car was remodeled for me by someone running into the back of it. So that and other commitments has kind of slowed a few painting projects down sadly.

One little project I have been able to complete is the painting of my Death Robots Combat Team for Traveller RPG. These cool lads are from Copplestone Castings (available through the North Star Military Figures web site. These come from the Copplestone Castings Future Wars line of miniatures.

I've painted them up in the Hyperion colours from Borderlands 2 as these will be an enforcer squad for a future Traveller based roleplaying game that incorporates Pandora and the MegaCorps from Borderlands. So kind of an elite robot Death Squad kind of thingy.

Anyway, these are really nice sculpts and pretty easy to paint up. I plan to get some more ;)

Death Knight

 

The latest addition to the D&D menagerie, a Death Knight. This dude is from Otherworld Miniatures.

The oxidized copper colour was achieved by putting a green wash over bronze. Kind of think it turned out OK.

Just in time to unleash this baddie on the players tomorrow!

Bronze Serpents for D&D

 

The latest addition to my D&D menagerie for inflicting pain on my player characters, please welcome the Bronze Serpents. These are Reaper Miniatures Black Range, Giant Serpents.

They are just a tad taller than the average 28 - 32mm miniature and so their pose, looking down at the character miniature, is kind of funny.

Now, on to the next project.

Beetle Swarms and Scorpions, oh my!

 

I needed some verminy things to throw at my player's this last D&D session. So I recently painted up some nasty's to whittle down their hit points. I had a beetle swarm all ready to pop out of a sarcophagus once the PC's cracked the seal.

Both miniature sculpts are from Reaper Miniatures

So what happened? One of the players, our youngest in fact, was able to cast a Frostbite spell at the crack in the opened lid of the sarcophagus and freeze this little blighters solid. Scratch one nasty surprise for the PC's! PC's 1, GM 0. Well played!

Don't worry. The scorpions are yet to be revealed! Insert evil genius laughter here...

The Shadow Pharaoh

 

This beasty I purchased off eBay. I believe it may be a Cthulhu Wars miniature however I am using it as a D&D baddy. I believe it is called the Shadow Pharaoh, but don't quote me on that.

I really didn't know how to paint this one and so I went for a 'fleshy, wrapped on soiled linen look'. Apparently that was all the rage amongst mummies back in Ancient Egypt.

I always like making my own monster stats and like to find weird and wonderful creatures to confront the player characters with. Love their reactions when I plonk things like this on the table. As long term role players, its always good to flummox them with something completely new and unknown to them.
